This place gets a low review from me because of their unfair policies toward visitors. I roll in their, with my souped up 1999 Ford Ranger and I'm ready to teach this little Dale Gordon III a thing or two about NASCAM. Well, the security there gets SUPER uptight about me entering the track. I'm trying to tell em that I know my way around an oval and I don't think I'll get lost, but they were having none of it. Long story short, got tazed, got used, got abused, once again. Your better than that Atlanta Motor Speedway, your better than that.
